U+C5BF "얿" Hangul Syllable Eolb Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+C5BF "얿" Hangul Syllable Eolb is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic sound "eolb." It is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅇ (ieung, a placeholder that becomes silent when at the beginning of a syllable), the medial vowel ㅓ (eo), and the final consonant cluster ㄼ (lb, composed of ㄹ and ㅂ). Part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character is used in written Korean but does not correspond to a common or frequently used word in standard vocabulary, making it a rare but valid linguistic component. Its encoding allows for proper text rendering and digital representation of the Korean language.
